This week?s celebrity mom profile is of Michele DeSelms. She is part of the Fox-17 News Team in Grand Rapids, Michigan, anchoring the 6:00 news and hosting the One Seven lifestyle show at 5:00 p.m. We wanted to take a peek into Michele?s busy life as a working mom and find out how she makes time for herself and her family. Turns out she is a lot like us?making choices about work schedules, hitting the pavement, and singing a Disney tune or two!
Check out her thoughts below?and don?t miss Michele?s daily dose of news and entertainment on Fox-17!
?
What are the ages/gender of your children?
I have 3 kids: My son Brandon is 21 and a senior at MSU. My?girls are Delaney, a 10-year-old fourth grader, ?and Teegan, a 7-year-old first grader.
Where do you work?
I anchor the news for Fox 17 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For 18 years, I worked 2-11 p.m. But less than a year ago, I stepped down from the 10 p.m. news so I could be home at night with my family. I get home about 7:30 p.m. now and for the first time ever, I get to tuck them into bed at night!
What has been one of the greatest joys of motherhood?
My kids make me laugh every single day! ?I love when we?re all home together, cracking each other up with stories. They each have their own unique personalities! ?I also love that they love each other so much. I know they are more than just siblings; they are also friends.
What has been one of the greatest challenges of motherhood?
My career has definitely been a challenge. I love what I do, and trying to balance both work and family has been tough sometimes. Luckily, I was able to work out a deal with my TV station to make things easier!
How has your perspective changed since becoming a mom?
Motherhood actually helps me keep things in perspective! Sometimes?the laundry isn?t done, the cookies for the class party are?store-bought?and that?s OKAY! I don?t have to be a perfect person?to be a great mom ? being stressed out about every little thing?doesn?t do anybody any good.
Finish the phrase, ?I never thought I?d??
?let my daughter go to school in mismatched clothing! ?Some of the?outfits Teegan comes up with are crazy! ?But she is her own girl, and?I respect her individuality, so I let her go for it!
What is one kid-related item that you can?t live without?
Johnson detangler spray! ?Trying to brush out all that hair?without it is a nightmare!
What is one toy you would love to mysteriously ?lose??
Some of their stuffed animals ? they are taking over the house!
What is one thing that you do for yourself to take a ?time out? and recharge?
I am an avid runner. Not only does it help keep me sane, but it?teaches my kids the importance of health and fitness.
What is one thing that your family enjoys doing together to relax?
We love to play ?Name that Movie?: ?We take turns quoting a line or singing a song from a film (usually Disney) and yell out the answers. It passes a lot of time on long car trips!
